Work has just been commenced on the level, where a drift has been run to intersect a shoot of ore two and one-hafeet wide. This ore is of an excellent character of silver and lead, with occasional boulders cf chalcopyrite. The development of this ore shoot indicates that the strike is south, along the contact, and if this is firmly established it will prove that 245-fo- lf I h char-o-tc- r c iv-;.i:n- ! (: r , ed d .

As an Indication of what may be expected from future development. It Js necessary enly to remember that the monzonlte bedy nhotts an outcrop fully 250 feet wide and more than 5000 feet long. To assume that this will develop Into a body of commercial copper, lead and silver ore Is to predicate one of the greatest ore developments In the history of the state. At a depth of 375 feet samples of the monzonlte fifteen feet from the contact showed: Silver, 6.3 per cent; lead, 9.73 per cent, and copper, 4.25 per cent. An umpire gave silver Z. per cent; lead. 4.H per cent, and copper, 3.75 per cent, or an average of $26.75 per ton at the present market prices, with apparently an unlimited tonnage. The high grade ore, occurring In the contact, at thU point, gave silver, 42.8 per cent; load, 19.63 per cent, and copper, 32. SO per cent, or a total value cf S174.43 per ton. For a distance of fifty feet above the bottom of the shaft the monzonlte foot wall Is literally full of and copper units, and a crosscut which lead-silv- er ot Is being driven to the foot wall Is de- veloping the fact that it is possible that the entire monzonlte dyke Is the original lode of the Star district. Six Distinct Fissure. There are six great distinct fissures cut In the lime beds running northeasterly and southwesterly and forming a Junction with the monzonlte contact, all of which Ehow mineralization on the surface. To date none of those fissure veins have been developed, but It Is the Intention of the Paloma mine management to drift both north and south and cut these fissures where they intersect the contact. It is exat to an exeach find pected point tensive body of high grade lead and silver ore. This has been confirmed from the fact that a small break in the limestone in the bottom of the Fhnft has three and one-hafeet of high grade oro at a depth of 373 feet. It is conclusive, therefore, that the main fissures will make larger ore bodies In proportion. The Moscow, Red Warrior and other noted properties in the Star district proved their ore bodies by sinking along these fissures out in the lime beds. Mining on the contact has been confined exclusively to the Paloma property, the fourteen claims of which cover the monzonlte flow, as shown on lf I the work is being done in absolutely, This ore bedy has virgin ground. and it every indication of widening out Is now yielding commercial ore- Since the recent strike at the Paloma three mining engineers and several stockholders have visited the property, all reporting favorably, and to use the expression of one cf the prominent engineers of the state. "Every geological condition in the Paloma is right for ore deposition. The contact, which is highly mineralized. Is one of the best I have seen. There are lead and silver cres cropping to the surface along the strike of the con tact in many places, and in one place it has been proved that with depth the ore becomes richer and more extensive. It appears that the monzonlte foot wall in the bottom of the shaft is nothing more than a vein of great dimensions and I look for the Paloma to develop one of the largest commercial ore bodies of any of the foremost mines of the state." About the first man to visit the mine was John Endlund, foreman in the Centenial Eureka mine at Eureka. Utah, who went down in the interest of the many stockholders of Eureka City. Mr. Endlund made a careful examination and sampled the ore body thoroughly. He stated that there was a vein of ore carrying 6 per cent coptwo and feet wide reachper ing out into the limestone from the contact, the commercial value of which would be $45 per ton and that the monzonlte foot wall was literally full of lead, sliver and copper. He stated that he was much elated over the showing . lead-silv- er one-ha- lf and that the Paloma had a wonderful future. Mr. Endlund was followed by Mr. Beck of Bingham canyon, whose samples and report verified what Mr. Endlund had said of the property. The property has also been visited by A. F. Palm, a broker on the Salt Lake stock exchange, who went In company with the secretary, Lorin Hall. "Paloma Is a mine beyond any question," was the verdict of Mr. Palm. "I visited the property," said Mr. Palm, "in the interest of a great many recent heavy purchasers of stock, who are my clients, and I want to say that I am absolutely satisfied with what I saw. It would be foollfh,. after seeing the property at this time, to doubt that, it is a great mine." Beginning nine feet back from the face of the Incline nore than present 375 feet below the surface there. Is ore in every direction and there is no room to doubt that the operating force is on top of a big ore body. Seventy-fiv- e feet from the present bottom of the Incline a crosscut was run to the lime hanging wall and a fissure was penetrated containing two and feet of carbonate ore. Near the present face cf the Incline this fssure is making a junction with the contact fissure, which also contains at this point a body of $45 ore, and this Junction is a mineralization and ore occausing currence that is notable. The size of the contact ore body has not yet been determined, for nine feet back from the face of the incline the roof of the incline is a solid body of carbonate ore. Two and feet have been exposed on the face of the incline, but it has not been determined how far it extends in the hanging wall. For fifteen feet back from the face of the incline they have sunk into the monzonlte foot wall and for the entire distance to the face of the incline have exposed monzonite that is literally shot full of copper values. In fact, the values spread both ways from the contact vein and no one knows how far they go into the hanging and foot walls. one-ha- lf one-ha- lf Utah Consolidated Earning Good Profit In the famous Highland Boy mine, Utah Consolidated Mining company has found and developed a property which has enabled it to maintain its dividend largest position as the secondstate.

SUGAR BEET CHOP OF" HUSSIA. According to the Torgovo Promysh-lennav- a Gazetta, of November 12. 1915, it is anticipated that the 1915 sugar beet crop in Russia amounts to 12,928,-20- 0 short tons. Estimating the production of sugar from beet at the average rate of 14 per cent, the amount of sugar that would be extracted from this quantity of beet comes to aboutthe1,785,000 quantons. It is estimated that of sugar left in stock from the pre-to tity amounts vious year's production 195,900 tons.
